While daddy is away...the girls will?

We dropped Robert off at the airport yesterday. He is flying to Mexico for a business trip. He is helping with an audit that Honeywell Industries is doing on one of their facilities over there. So we kissed the man of our house goodbye, and the girls and I are on our own all week long until he returns.
This week I will get to catch a glimpse of what it is like to truly be a single mommy. I have friends that do this single mommy balancing act everyday, and I have much respect for those moms who keep it going everyday on their own. It is hard enough when you have a partner to share parenting duties with. So I know by the end of this week, I will be tired.


My idea is to keep us moving! I will keep the girls busy with something everyday so they don't get bored and won't be sitting around driving me nuts. Also, if I tucker them out by being on the go, go, go all day, then they will go to sleep easily and sleep soundly all night long. This is my plan.

Do our nails

Go to the splashpark

Go swimming with our friends

Do some shopping for new baby
Go to the snow cone stand

Go to the library for storytime

Go to watch Shrek at the $2 Tuesday movie

Go to my OGYN appointment to check on baby
Go to Alyssa's gymnastics class
Do some chores and projects around the house

Get some surprises ready for Robert's 30th birthday this weekend

In the middle of all this go, go, going with the girls, I will be finding time here and there to work my other job that actually pays me in money. This job is much easier to do when Robert is home because he can be with the girls and I can just focus on working without feeling guilty I'm not spending time with them.

I have a feeling that we will be so busy that this week will go by pretty fast and we will be picking Robert up at the airport sooner than we think!

Wish me luck!
